“Short interviews with our engineers give listeners condensed but not overly technical insight into Infineon’s chip solutions which address the three central challenges to modern society: energy efficiency, communications, and security,” says Christoph von Schierstaedt, in charge of podcasts at Infineon. “Our podcasts throw light on the people who stand behind our chips and show the new applications which our chips enable.”

Launched in September 2007, Infineon podcast service has reported on intelligent automotive seatbelt pretension systems or radar applications, internet telephony (Voice over IP), the world’s smallest protection diode and other subjects from the world of the chip industry.
